Explanation:

It is known that electric field is responsible for creating electric potential. As a result, it depends only on the electric field and not on the magnitude of charge.

So, when a charge is increased by a factor of 2 then electric potential will remain the same. Since, expression to calculate the electric potential is as follows.

U = qV

Since, the electric potential is directly proportional to the charge. Hence, when 0.2 $\mu C$ tends to replaced by 0.4 $\mu C$ then charge is increased by a factor of 2. Hence, the electric potential energy is doubled.

Thus, we can conclude that if that charge is replaced by a +0.4 µC charge then electric potential stays the same, but the electric potential energy doubles.

The nose of an ultralight plane is pointed south, and its airspeed indicator shows 28 m/s . the plane is in a 18 m/s wind blowin

leva [86]

<span>Here I think you have to find the velocity in x and y components where x is east and y is north
So as air speed indicator shows the negative speed in y component and adding it in
air speed while multiplying with the direction component we will get the velocity as velocity is a vector quantity so direction is also required
v=-28 m/s y + 18 m/s (- x/sqrt(2) - y/sqrt(2))
solving
v= -12.7 m/s x-40.7 m/s y
if magnitude of velocity or speed is required then
speed= sqrt(12.7^2 + 40.7^2)
speed= 42.63 m/s
if angle is asked
angle = arctan (40.7/12.7)
angle = 72.67 degrees south of west</span>

A pitcher throws a 0.140 kg baseball, and it approaches the bat at a speed of 35.0 m/s. The bat does Wnc = 75.0 J of work on the

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

The speed of the ball is 42.5 m/s

Explanation:

The initial kinetic energy of the ball is:

$K_1=\frac{1}{2} m v_0^2=\frac{1}{2}*0.140 kg*(35.0 m/s)^2$ = 85.75 J

The speed of the ball after leaving the bat is:

$K_2=K_1+W_{nc}\\ \frac{1}{2}mV^2= 85.75 J + 75 J\\ (\frac{1}{2}mV^2)2=( 160.75 J)2\\ mV^2= 321.5 J\\ V^2= \frac{321.5 J}{0.140kg} \\ V=\sqrt{\frac{321.5 J}{0.140kg}}$

V=47.92 m/s

Using kinematic equation we can find the speed of the ball after being 25 m above the point of collision:

$V_f^2-V^2=-2gh$

$V_f^2-(47.92 m/s)^2=-2*9.81m/s^2*25m$

$V_f^2=-2*9.81m/s^2*25m+(47.92 m/s)^2$

$V_f=\sqrt{-2*9.81m/s^2*25m+(47.92 m/s)^2}$

$V_f=42.5m/s$

Use newton's third law to explain why a blown up balloon but untied balloon will fly around the room when you let it go? really

den301095 [7]

Newton's third law of motion states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. The balloon travels in the opposite direction as the air escaping from it. So when gas is released from the balloon it pushes against the outside air and the outside air pushes back. As a result of this the rocket is propelled forward by the opposing force. This opposing force is thrust.

Hope this helps!

After a fall, a 90 kg rock climber finds himself dangling from the end of a rope that had been 16 m long and 7.8 mm in diameter

Nesterboy [21]

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the rock climber, m = 90 kg

Original length of the rock, L = 16 m

Diameter of the rope, d = 7.8 mm

Stretched length of the rope, $\Delta L=3.1\ cm$
